Defusing land mines in Cambodia (SCARY)

artician says...

50 year-old TNT. Maybe I'm misinformed, but I understand that's supposed to be very volatile. That's amazing.

Either way, Cambodia.. O' Cambodia. I looked up the URL at the end of the video and was very disappointed:

"He wrote and directed the offbeat 1991 comedy Rubin and Ed, in which Crispin Glover and Howard Hesseman wander the desert looking for a suitable place to bury a frozen cat... He also wrote and directed Plan 10 from Outer Space."




Yeesh.

Defusing land mines in Cambodia (SCARY)

What bored defense contractors do for fun

flechette says...

Seriously, wtf was the point of them doing this? How does someone just have 100 TONS of explosives sitting around waiting to be blown up? If we're talking Short ton's here (US measurement, 2000 pounds) that's ~200000 pounds of explosives. Doesn't look like just tnt, since there's obviously round or projectiles screaming off from the site. Googling leads me to believe a 100 ton detonation of TNT would cost about 200000 bucks, which doesn't seem like a lot of money where defense is concerned, but if they're wasting it like this ... I have a huge problem with it, no matter how cool the explosion is. (And yes, I think fireworks for the 4th are pretty silly as well when tax funds are used to put on a show)

There is a chemistry among people, blood.

Like TNT or cyanide.

I had perfect friends that I left.

I met perfect monsters that I curse.

It's a big world, so wide, so complex

That there is always a chance, to find that perfect thing

And keep it for a little while.

>> ^BillOreilly:
This is unconstitutional. CommunistSift is going down a road that Obama has paved with bad intentions. First Choggie gets unfairly victimized, than CP420 invokes the gay tag, more drama around here than a TNT original series. I think America needs Sarah Palin in these trying times. And that's all I have to say about that.


Videosift doesn't have a constitution, you dolt. *nochannel

dag/lucky, any chance we could slap a fake account together to try it out on?

"QuantumMushroom; other 40 year-olds living in their parent's basements across the U.S. have been vocal in expelling you from their ranks due in part to your vitriolic racism and sexism, but mostly in response to recently revealed accusations that you've repeatedly paid child prostitutes to massage your privates. What do you say to those who think, because of your alleged past as a child molester, you should jump into a volcano with TNT strapped to your waste?"


There's a difference between challenging questions and leading questions. The leading questions in this case are not designed to confront the interviewee, but simply to seed the minds of listeners with negatives as the interview progresses. Colbert uses this technique frequently in his interviews, as it can be very humorous when transparent and recognize for what it is, especially since Colbert likes to push it slightly beyond its limits (... as in my example).

1 food calorie is really a kilo-calorie of chemistry persuasion, each of which is 4.184 joules.

An explosion equivalent to 1 megaton (a small hydrogen bomb) is equivalent to 4.184×10^15 Joules (source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TNT_equivalent )

So, 4.184×10^15 / (170 * 1000 * 4.184) = 5.8824 x 10^9 Ranchero Chicken Soft Tacos. (i.e. 6 billion, i.e. one delicious taco for everyone on Earth.)

A Tzar Bomba, at 50 megatons, would be 50 tacos for everyone on Earth. And an epidemic of scurvy.

Wikipedia notes that carbohydrates have higher energy density than TNT, so if you actually measured nuclear explosions in mega-tons of tacos, it would be a smaller number than mega-tons of TNT.

MIT geek nearly shot by airport police for wearing 9V & LEDs (Geek Talk Post)

joedirt says...

where the hell did this putty / playdough thingy come from? Do they just lie to make up cartoonish images of tom & jerry style TNT with a clock and wires?

WTF?! So, (a) let's say she had dirty hands and handled clay or modelers clay or even playdough. Could the security even tell this from a distance? How could they tell "stuff" on dirty hands was clay-like?

So clearly they might have found dirty hands after they arrested her and tried to make up reasons for pointing assault weapons at someone wearing their science project. Ironic again that they hand these same things out free at bars promoting whatever.

I'm willing to bet the airport might even have waitstaff that are wearing flair that was flashing leds. Blinking even is more bomb=like than just LED hooked to battery.
